“Un tad bija tā...” is an online lecture in Liepājas pilsēta on 14 October 2026. On Zoom, literary scholar Linda Zulmane will talk about plots in dreams, life and literature. The lecture will look at the theoretical aspects of story-making and invite participants to create a story based on an incident. It will highlight different plots found in life and literature, including proto-plots, invented, dreamed, life-inspired, dramatic, tragic and humorous plots. The event is connected with the short-prose competition “Un tad vēl bija tāds gadījums...” organised by the Prose Readings festival. The lecture will be held in Latvian.
